I had Carla come let my dog out when I had a busy day. It happened to be raining so she took him on a walk and for a car ride. She spent much more time with him than I had anticipated and he loved it! It was great to know that I could go to work and he was being well taken care of and wasn't stuck in his kennel all day!

HOW TO BOOK WITH CARLA:-I invite all new clients to a meet and greet meeting to discuss care. Whatever we decide on at that meeting will be the foundation of our relationship together.-All boarding dogs need tags. I recommend chips.-Dogs need current flea and tic medication administered.-Collar should be reasonably tight that the dog can not break out of and escape from once leashed.-Please provide written emergency contact information in dogs overnight bag.-Pack a non- disposable, sturdy overnight bag with food, treats and any dog gear.-Please label your items with dogs name (food tote, leash, bowls) (a piece of masking tape is fine on everything except toys.)

HOW TO BOOK THE RIGHT NUMBER OF DAYS FOR CARE:-Pick up hours end at 9:30 AM the last day of your stay.-If you are picking up after 9:30 AM on the last day of your stay, I will bill for a day of daycare which ends at 5pm for the latest possible pick up time.

-For all bookings, standard business hours are between 8AM and 9PM. I am not able to meet, operate, or extend hours outside of these times.-I do not accept any bookings under live video surveillance. I feel awkward and uncomfortable I think videotaping someone when they're alone in a private residence is an invasion of privacy. If you do not trust my methods with out your cameras watching me than please feel free to book a different rover sitter. I reserve the right to contact Rover and terminate any booking that has hidden cameras filming me when I am living in the house or caring for the dogs especially that are not to my knowledge.

MEDICAL CARE INFO:I am willing to give liquid syaringe and pill medication. If your dog has ANY chance of declining their medication/vitamins I ask you provide peanut butter, cheese, or pill pockets, whatever works. I also ask that you include specialty items that the dog may need like diapers if the dog is frequently incontinent.I work with dogs needing advanced medical care or special needs on a case by case basis.I have administered eye drops, oral medication, expressed bladders, worked with paralyzed, down syndrome, and blind dogs. Please reach out to me for a meeting so we can discuss your dogs care.If your dog has an emergency, I will take it to Golf Rose Animal Hospital. Please provide me with your vets info so I can have the records faxed over. I am not able to go to your home vet in an emergency. Please be aware of this policy when booking with me.

A little about Me:Hello, I am getting my doctorate in Physical Therapy online and so I am staying at home and finishing requirements and watching your dog!!! I would love to help out by caring and giving your pet my undivided attention! -I have worked at dog daycare/pet boarding facilities, assisted trainers with teaching behavioral classes, worked as a kennel volunteer, and been a foster parent to several dogs with slight behavioral issues. -I'm very responsible, respectful, flexible, and hard working. Good for last minutes stays or plan changes if you need an extra day or so that would be no problem. -After working with dogs my entire life I'm sure I'd be the perfect match for you and your pet!

Why I love dog sitting and the dogs love me:Between my boyfriend Joseph and my rotating schedules, the house is never empty for long. Joe and I take turns watching dogs at the house. He loves dogs as much as I do! Your furry friend will not be left home alone all day unattended, and will be given the utmost love and care 'round the clock. We aim to make both our clients and their furry friends happy, and if there's anything we can do to accommodate you, please don't hesitate to ask!

We also reinforce the commands you've been working on with your pup while you're away. We practice "sit", "down", "stay", and "leave it" as basic guidelines for working with our guests. We love when their parents give us a list of commands they've been working on with their pups as it gives us more fun things to help keep their minds sharp and them happy and healthy while staying in our home!

Some of the aspects I have been thoroughly trained in include dog behavior, health, diet, and training. All of these aspects help ensure that your pup is in the best hands possible. If your pup is having even the slightest issue, such as only eating part of their dinner, slight anxiety when being left alone, lethargic when out of character of your pup, or anything “our of the ordinary”, I will contact you directly to let you know. Then, I will then assess the situation and with your consent do what the best option is to ensure optimal health, both physically and mentally, of your loved one(s).

Meet my petsI have 2 dogs, an energetic Shih Poo mix and lap dog Maltese Yorking teacup.Both are very good with other animals. I have previously owned many fish, reptiles, birds, and hamsters as well.

About my yardHUGE! Plenty of space for them to burn off energy and play on my tie out in the Mount Prospect Greens dog walking park literally in my backyard steps off my patio.

When Carla watches your pet

Your dog's sleeping arrangementWhere is your dog used to sleeping? Our dog sleeps in the floor in our room or occasionally on the couch in the living room. She also has a dog bed she naps on frequently. And if your dog is used to sleeping in bed with you, she is welcome to jump onto our queen sized bed and snuggle the night through.

Time I'll spend with your dogOur (mine and my boyfriend Joey- my partner) schedule is really flexible and between the two of us, someone is almost always home. I spend a large part of the day working from home on my college studies. I take my own dog on outings on a daily basis.
